Ivanrest Impact Ministries – Guatemala

Kelly!!! Best wishes on another trip to Guatemala. We will be praying for you and most of all, for patience!! Don’t overload the guys too much with carrying all your stuff. Hope the crutches aren’t too much of a problem and the ankle finishes healing. Since you won’t be doing a ton of hard labor – make sure you spend lots of time holding the kids and giving them lots of love (and candy).
Love you lots and we are so proud of you again!!
Mom and Dad, and Kevin, and Westin, and Jack, and Rudy
Won’t you miss all them while you’re gone??

kelly!! I miss you already…and you haven’t even left yet!!I’m going to miss you soo…much!!! Don’t forget to sneak a little baby home in your suitcase for me!!! Love you and hope you have a wonderful time…i will write to you everyday!!!
P.S…i don’t want you to come back a big tuna!

Hey kelly. I know that you are nervous and unsure of what this trip will hold. Just hang tight because God is gonna use you in amazing ways even with your crutches…especially because of your crutches. hang tough. I will be praying for you the whole trip. You will for sure be in my thoughts and prayers. Have an awesome time.

KELLY!
i know you had a lot of delays and everything..but hopefully you are safe. and hopefully you can still walk. oh wait. you couldn’t to begin with! haha but seriously i know things are going to be a little bit more difficult for you than most people. but just stick with it…amazing things are going to happen! im praying for you!
<3 love you

HEY KEL!!
hope everythings going good
can’t wait to see you when you get back!!
loves you!

Hi Kelly,
Just hoping that all went well today. We are all anxious to hear how everything is going, but according to Kristy’s comments – no news is definitely good news. Hope that ankle is doing well and not hurting too bad. It definitely is a bit quiet around here – no beeping from your phone!! Take care, be patient and try to do whatever you’re able to do. I know you can do it!! Love you lots and we’re all anxious to hear how everything is going.
Love, Mom

I miss you tuna!! Come home soon!! Hope your doing well and hope your not sick. Can’t wait to see you again…ill be the first one there when you guys get off the bus! Have fun!

Kelly,
Hope all is going well. It sounds like we probably won’t be hearing from you for a bit, but somehow sending a note out into cyberspace makes me feel like I’m still in contact with you. The girls are missing you! The dogs are missing you, and of course we’re missing you as well. Lots of things going on here of course, so be prepared for some changes. At least there won’t be anymore flooded basements. Hope you’re able to do some work around there – I know how frustrating it can be if everyone else is working and you’re not able to. We pray for safe travel back to the base and hope everything is up and working so we can hear from all of you. Sorry if there’s a few typos – cut my finger again, at least it was’t with a Cutco knife!! Hope to hear fro,m you soon.
Love, Mom!

Hey. I am praying for you all the time. I hope that God is using you in very special ways. Stay strong and hang in there. If anyone can do it under these conditions I know it is you. have a blast.
Jason

Hi Kelly.
Enjoy the people and kids of Guatemala! What an impact you are having in their lives!! Pray that all is going well with you!

Kelly:
Here is another verse on weakness for you!
2 Corinthians 12:10
For Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Be strong, Kelly!
God bless you,
The Dooleys

Good morning Kelly!
Hope you’re waking up to a beautiful morning – it is gorgeous here today! I hate to let you know that it’s another quiet weekend here without KevKev. He’s gone dirt biking for the weekend, so now I get full responsibility of the dogs – fun! It’s so strange not getting updates, but thanks for Kevin and Kristy keeping us somewhat updated. Maybe it’s a good thing that we need to just trust in what God has planned and a good reminder that it’s not in our control. Hope you can all feel our thoughts and prayers for you. Take care, hope all are staying well and keep safe.
Love you lots and miss you a ton!
Momma B.☺

Hi Kelly,
Glad to read the latest update. I’m really hoping you’re not the one with a skin infection!! Sounds like you are having an unbelievable time and we’re anxious to hear all the stories you’ll have when you return. It really is weird around here with no kids, you may have to adopt a few and bring them home for me! Not quite ready to have it be so quiet (except for the dogs) around here. We’re staying home today, but have to go to the cottage tomorrow – so I hope to do a lot of catching up on the news from Guatemala on Monday. Take care and hope you’re staying well as well as everyone else.
Love you!
Mother Berens!!

Kelly,

Just wanted to let you know that I am praying for you and the team. I know that the trip with your broken foot wasn’t what you planned, but you have and will have an incredible chance to minister in a way you never thought. Hope that Alisha isn’t giving you any trouble. Thanks for looking out and taking care of her.

God Bless, Alisha’s Mom

Kelly! I miss you soo.. much and can’t wait for you to come home! I have yet to see you in the pictures…just hope your not sick! Hope you doing okay with your foot! Continue spreading God’s word to all of the people! See you on tuesday:)

Hey Kelly,
It sounds like you guys are having an awesome time. I can’t wait to go some year! Have a safe trip home! Hope the leg didn’t give you too much trouble

Kell

Hope you are doing well this morning! Looking forward to having you back (Im sure your going to need sleep and good food. Praying for your safe return. Dad

Kelly! I’m writing this for Kevin and he can’t wait until you return tomorrow to tell you about his weekend. He really does miss you even though he won’t admit it. I can’t say it’s been quiet around here with all the construction and demolition, but we do miss you!
Love, Mom and Kevin

hi everyone! we are at mcdonalds and i have about 5 minutes….everything has been going pretty good. we haven’t had too many problems with rain but we have had troubles with the vans. earlier this week i was a little sick too but i’m feeling much better now. I can’t wait to come home to sleep in my own bed! but at the same time it has been so much fun and i don’t want to leave. my ankle is doing alright…a little sore from all the walking and everything. my boot and my crutches are flithy though! sorry mom…i haven’t really been wearing the boot much, just taping my ankle and using crutches. well, i’ve got to go…..we are leaving to see gloria! and the new base! i will see you all soon!
